wolfmanh Jan 08, 2006	well got most of it......very well done
mr_brainiac Jan 12, 2006	I actually got it, I was surprised, I was expecting something much more involved and complicated.
tarheel Jan 12, 2006	Or "roll" doesn't belong because it is the only one with along vowel sound.
schatzy228 Jan 19, 2006	or bug is the only thing you can do to people without moving them.
Ouchy1 Feb 14, 2006	and because bug is the only one without an R.
jlvsbeks Feb 16, 2006	i got it right 4 a different reason
feste Dec 26, 2008	It is obvious from the list that bug does not belong as the others are inanimate objects, and it is not.
doehead Dec 26, 2008	I agree with others thay there is more than one answer. This makes it a poor choice for a teaser.
bradon182001 Dec 26, 2008	I for one didn't find it easy, I didn't get it but not for lack of trying. Thanks for posting.
Jimmymo Dec 26, 2008	Nice and easy for the day after Xmas. Dinn't want to think too hard at work!
abrain Dec 26, 2008	I didn't get it right,but in my quest I noticed all 5 can be nouns or verbs. Good teaser.
UptheHill Dec 26, 2008
grayelf812 Dec 26, 2008	A suffix can be added to all without the addition of a second consonant; except for bug. I still think it was a fun teaser
javaguru Dec 26, 2008	Or "SPREAD" because it's the only word with more than one vowel.
sammyfish Dec 26, 2008	i thought it was bug too there seems to be a lot of different answers!
freeport_coolie Dec 26, 2008	maybe it can be "bug".....its the only word not having the letter "R"
avonma Dec 26, 2008	I thought it was hard, too. I just couldn't get it.
BurnTheMemories Dec 26, 2008	Huh, I said bug because it's the only one that's alive.
